Tata Indigo CS [2008-2011] User Reviews

I spent nearly 3 months to make a decision.Before this I have been using OMNI and ALTO -LX.I had test drives of various company cars.For nearly  3 MONTHS I spent many of my leisure hours in reading the reviews of Carwale.It was of great help to me in taking my final decisions.To my surprise I am getting  19 kmpl.I frequently go to Coimbatore.Company Dealer says mileage will be around 25kmpl.But it is not true.Already I crossed 3000kms.In my experience my car gives the mileage in between 22 and 23 kmpl with full AC in plains.They say after 10000 kms it would give more than 25.that we are not sure about.Our dealers in Coimbatore and Ooty -TAFE are very good in service.They are very customer friendly not like someother company dealers who are not that much customer friendly.INDIGO CS LX TDI is meant for middleclass people.we cannot dream of getting a spacious,comfortable,ECONOMICAL car like this from any other brand at an affordable price ..My present monthly fuel bill is now 1/3 only from my petrol bills of the past.To sum up,KUDOS to TATAS for bringing out such a CHEAP and BEST.COMPACT SEDAN car to Indians-esp for Professionals and Executives-Dr.THARANIGood fuel economy,Good style,very good comfort,very,very smooth steeringNo cupholders,no centre backrest,turning radius long,moving to lower gear when engine slowed down

After 2 months of research finally purchased CS LX TDI, Classic Ivory Colour on 9th Sep 09. Best Car if you look value for money wise. The latest colour is also too good.Good look :Specially Classic Ivory colour,AC is fabulous, Interior Space is bigGear Shifting is not very smooth

I bought my Indigo CS TDI in Nov 2009 and had covered 17,000 Kms without any glitch even minor one. The car is one among the Best styled car's in India, a sheer pleasure to watch......Neighbour's envy, Owner's Pride. you cant hold your eyes on a single location on this curvaceous beauty as you are bound to slip.

Interior space is too comfortable for even five people and the boot space is uncomparable with any other car in the same price range.

The trims makes a lil noise now and then but its a small price for such a big car.

Engine is quite powerfull and will give most of the other cars a run for their money on a highway. takes time to pickup but afterwards u will just wonder where are the other cars on the highway. The mileage is what beats other cars....I am getting 16-17 in city and 19 on a highway...

Ride Quality & Handling are superb, the suspensions are truly designed for Indian road conditions and you will wonder why are the ither cars lagging in this area.

Just dont go by the market rumor's and contemporary salesmen jargons. This car is a pleasure to drive so go for a test drive before deciding.

Quality of trims and service staff (including marketing people) need a lot of improvement.

Looks, Space, Fuel economy and powerTrims and accessories alongwith unwilling service staff

I bought Indigo CS LX 9th April 09 and clocked 750+ so for.

Wanted to go for big car (with space at back) and CS appealed me with its look.

After lot of debate whether to choose petrol or diesel finally decided  diesel (my first diesel car). Feels nothing difference than petrol except the sound from engine (may be due to turbo).

The driving found comfortable except some tough in gear shifting. Also the exterior finish (like varying gaps at doors, improper seating of dicky cover at back, beeding at window glasses) to be improved (TATA has to match this with Maruti, Hyundai).

Interior is okay but (as told in all reviews for TATA cars) to improve to match with others.

The dealer response is good however still I am waitng for seat covers and full floor mats as I wish to buy these only from TATA dealer.

Fuel economy has to check and hope will give around 18 for Coimbatore Traffic. Seem slightly bumby may be due to its height and more ground clearance.

Space at inside can be better utlized for extra things like bottle holder etc similar to i10 or A-Star. Need Foldable center rest at back seat like Chevvy or other similar cars.

TATA can improve these little things to make the CS realy a SEDAN for people of all class.

Finally thanks for www.carwale.com for the reviews and comparisons.

Balu.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice Look at Back than regular Indigo, Space, ACPoor Gear Shifting,

 

Exterior Good looks with sleek design  front light should be more powerful.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) comfortable, leg space is good, haven't the place for keeping bottles which is necessity now a days.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very good but have the noise problem, fuel economy is in my budget as it gives good mileage with air conditioner , gear box is smooth for new driver.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ok but not very comfortable, power steering make drivers good in parking in small space. central locking is easier for single person as he doesn't have to lock each door.

 

Final Words Overall its good. taken good decision by buying this car. need some improvement in certain areas as mentioned below. being a TATA product its reliable affordable in terms of everything be it price fuel maintenance . good for long journey.

 

Areas of improvement Gearbox, back seat  Air conditioner should be improved, seats are not very comfortable,power window switch are very down.
